I want to talk about drum practice. Drum practice is not going well. I keep cutting my practice time short because I keep telling myself that I need to study. Really, I do, but I could use my allotted study time better so that I maximize my time better when I’m actually supposed to study. I’m not concentrating hard enough during my normal study time.

I’m going to look up ways to study better. BRB

How to Study

Use the Pomodoro Technique

Study in 25-minute intervals with

5-minute break in between each interval

30-minute break every 90 minutes

Meditate for 5 minutes at each of these long breaks

Remove all distractions

Turn off social media and distracting websites

Use an app like the Self-Control MacBook app to block certain websites for an allotted block of time

Turn off all notifications on your phone and computer

Lock the doors

No texting and no phone calls

No eating or smoking except at breaks

Listen to music

Something calm and instrumental like this: Beautiful Mind: Best Study Music for Concentration and Better Learning – 1 Hour Music
